Hi,  
Can someone tell me if I have found a bug or am doing something wrong  
using Net::HTTP.get ? If I run the code without the -rdebug flag, then  
it works perfectly. If I use the flag and then simply do a continue,  
then I get the errors shown after the code below. I have stepped  
through the code and shown that it is the get2 call that causes the  
error. Also happens with the get method.
